Discover the story of the song > Runaway Boys – Stray Cats

The song is about a teenage boy who gets kicked out of his house by his angry parents. He is too young to work and has nowhere to go, so he hangs out with other runaway boys in a place where the police won't bother them, and they can act wild without being treated like children. They spend their time playing arcade games and stealing money to buy toys, but they know that running away is a crime because they are under age.
